Yeah, so I guess the GM insiders themselves just keeps dropping hints and making false "rumors" just to torture us then.

What proof do you have that the rumors are false? all rumors point to 2007 so unless it is 2007 and there is no Camaro or you have insider info saying something different what proof do you have that there won't be a new Camaro by '07?

Re: Some of you make NO sense what so ever.

I'm sticking with my pledge not to buy another GM car brand new until the Camaro comes back. I don't care how good the mustang looks, or how much power the Cobra packs. I'm sticking with my Camaro.

Some people are blowing it out of proportion. I see nothing concrete about whether the Camaro will come back or not. Though I think Lutz dropped his best clue on the GM blog.

Tell me then, why would people keep up the charade then? If it was dead, they would say it's dead. It isn't too complicated.

Instead, they are dropping hints and telling us not to give up the faith.

Especially a certain someone, of whom people like you ran off the board.

Maybe he is off the board becasue the Zeta Coupe will not be called Camaro. Maybe he dosnt want to be the joke of CamaroZ28.com. It seems that the Chevy Zeta will not be called Camaro. If this is the case I think we are looking at at least 2009 before we see a Camaro. If this is the case than it will be no camaro. Its to big of a break in time.

The only reason that Camaro hints have been passed around is that some people at GM want the car. But how many cars have been faught for that never made it to production? This is what I think happened to Camaro.

Etymology: Middle English feith, from Old French feid, foi, from Latin fides; akin to Latin fidere to trust —more at BIDE

For those who won't believe anything but facts, you have, by definition, no faith .

Some of us on the other hand have the benefit of having both

LOL... If they didn't come out and call it dead then it MUST be coming back!

That's some funny reasoning. You think they care if you have "closure" on the whole situation or not? If believing that the Camaro will eventually be coming back keeps you loyal to Chevrolet and buying their cars, why would they blow that? They can string you on for years and just keep on telling you to "have faith".

Kinda like GT4. I'd laugh if that thing never got released. The system is already going to be obsolete by the time it is.

Since I don't pray to or worship GM, I'll let you have all the faith.

Re: Some of you make NO sense what so ever.

I saw all of this happening back in 2001, when I needed to replace my Camaro. The dated design and lack of support from GM led me to buy a Mustang - something I had no intentions of doing. Then a funny thing happened.... I really started to like my Ferd. I noticed how outspoken Ferd is when it comes to acknowledging the importance of its ponycar fans, respecting them and giving them what they ask for. Eventually, I stopped worrying about what line GM was currently using to string Camaro fans along.

I'd definately be interested in a new Camaro, but I don't worry about it anymore.

It's the truth....deal with it...

Seems you already have...

2005 Scion tC * Silver Streak Mica * Still brand new. 10" Bazooka.
1992 Acura Integra OMG 1.8L VTEC monster... heh heh. And an extremely loud stereo too.
Those of us who still care enough to drive real cars will bide our time a little while longer, thank you.....

Kinda figured you'd be above personal attacks, guess not. How's this for a real car...my car is sitting outside now, and I can go and drive it. How about your 2005 Camaro? That's more "real" to you?

If you want a real car, then get something like I have in my sig.

Thumbs up Re: Some of you make NO sense what so ever.

I see a lot of people saying "I've lost the faith, the Camaro is dead.... i'm gonna buy a Ferd"

What is your problem?

If the Camaro was really dead, why the heck are people dropping clues? If the Camaro was dead, they would say it's dead. Plain and simple.

I mean, the bird is dead, they say it's dead and it's end of discussion.

Some of you need to get a clue.

I know the Camaro is coming back. I'm just more concerned about whether or not GM will make a car worthy of the name.
THANK YOU. My feelings exactly.

Oh noes... A Camaro fanboy is making fun of my car


There is more to life than waiting and holding your breath for a busted *** car that hasn't even seen the day of light yet. Of course I'm sure your solution would have been for me to buy a Malibu MAXX so I could help support the awesome company that is GM

Obviously you didn't include my Blazer... So let me guess... An 88 K5 is not deserving of your insults because it came from your favorite car company in the world, right? LOL
